Purple Drab

#84565b

Purple Drab is a muted mauve-brown, a dusty wine color with gray in it, like a faded plum or dried heather. It appears in a single combination, a trio with Khaki and Deep Lyons Blue, where the mustard gold and deep royal blue give its quiet tone a frame and a reason to exist. At about 6.1:1 on white it can carry body text, though on black it is limited to larger headings. It suits tweed, leather accessories and understated, vintage-feeling packaging.
